Water Golf anyone?

WaterRipper is Tim Leefeldt's new waterball innovation that has been in the works since 1988. Eureka! Archimedes principals applied. This revolutionary new high performance sportswater toy that has two patent pending applications with assistance with From Patent to Profit author, Bob DeMatteis who assisted in bringing this innovation to market in record time. WaterRipper is distinctly different from all waterballs on the market, the key is slow acting collapsing bean bag design, the balanced density and water absorbing materials to maximize density and performance on water.

Tim is continuing to document the physics of the WaterRipper performance on the water surface. He continues to marvel at the phenomena of the “low profile skip pattern” that skips like a rock, catches like a bag, and stays in the pool. Tim is developing new play patterns, patented apparatus and equipment including an iPhone app that will enhance waterplay experience and sports potential of this simple innovative watertoy for generations to come.
